Hello all

[TNeal]

Lets see. I am a 51 year old kid who loves critters. Right now I keep Guyana Orange Spotted Roaches, North African Grass Mantids, Flower Mantids, Chinese Mantids, Crested Geckos, House Geckos, Grass Lizards, Bermuda Anoles, 2 dogs, Black Widows, Red Widows, Black Jumping Spider and 2 species of fruit flies.

I have 2 breeding project going so far with my mantids. I hatched out some Chine Mantids early this spring and have raised them to full adult hood. I am attempting to mate them.

I also have a lot of egg cases and nymphs from my North African Grass Mantids.

My Guyana Orange Spotted Roach colony has been going for over a year now. I keep the population to around 100 by feeding them off to other pets, selling some and giving many away to schools and such for the kids.

Welcome. Looks like you have a pretty good collection going there. I've always been interested in mantids. Use to catch them behind my house as a kid. Don't have any right now, but...
